Poland Spring - Annoyed
Updated by user Jul 10, 2025

I still feel the same way that I did the last time there was no way that I am going to do this again. It’s taking way too long and I still haven’t gotten my package. I might get another one when I live in Florida and I’ll probably be used to everything coming really slow.

Original review Jul 06, 2025
I was annoyed that I couldnt get my bag sooner but then Im like OK its gonna come sooner or later, but I really would like my bag and I may not get anything else because it takes way too long but now I know it takes between eight to something kind of days I dont understand why it takes that is it coming by camel what is it coming by UPS truck what I know its coming by UPS truck it feels like its coming by camel. How long does it take to send a bag?

Its a stupid bag I mean, how long does it take to send anything else? Its a large item. I dont even wanna know how long it takes and where is it coming from Pakistan?

I just wanna know where in the world these items are coming from a bag you sticking in a box and you called a day. I may not be getting anything else from this place, but I may because I just like pulling spring Palm spring spring.Poland spring

Primo Brands has a lot of issues. They keep making promises to deliver but then they cancel every time.

We haven’t received our water delivery since April. I just had to finally close our account.

Original review Aug 26, 2025

I tried to use Ready-Refresh to deliver but all they have is excuses and no deliveries. I cancelled my account today.

Pros:
  • Its water
Cons:
  • Water never gets delivered

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Don't use Ready Refresh for Poland Springs Water Delivery

Packaging

There was an issue with the packaging. The bottles were all leaning to the side and therefore would not stand up properly.

Thank you.

A 6 gallon pack tasted and smelled like plastic and made me sickened after using it.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Tasted and smelled like plastic and made me sick.
  • It was fine a week earlier, suggesting storage.
  • Boiling did not fix it; the contaminants remained.

A 6-gallon pack tasted and smelled like plastic and made me sick after using it. I do not know why the quality ended up being so bad; I had ordered it one week before, and it was fine.

I am thinking perhaps it was stored in a poor way by delivery trucks. I tried boiling the water, and it did no good; whatever was in the water remained.

User's recommendation: Try Fiji or another, Poland Spring keeps selling their company and they may have changed their guidelines for filtering the water

Gave a promise and didn't meet it

AI Highlights
  • Water delivery was promised for July 3 but arrived July 11.
  • They request return of the water, a large discount, or account cancellation.

We were promised water delivery on july 3rd which was important because we had so many people. Customer service ( a woman) promised july 3rd.

We received on July 11th.

We don't need all that water now. Either take it back, give us a large discount or cancel my account

Poor customer service and poor delivery

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Service declined after changes from Poland Springs to Ready Fresh to Primo Water.
  • Very poor customer service with long waits and unhelpful reps.

They were good when it was just Poland Springs then they went to Ready Fresh now Primo Water. Very bad customer service.

Wait time over one and a half hours and they talk over you and hang up when they cant help you. I have been waiting for water for three weeks now and on my fourth delivery date.

No one you speak to is from the US. Very POOR!!!

16.9 fl oz bottles are horrible the cap is extremely hard to open and bottle itself is very flimsy. When you grip the bottle to open the cap the water ends up leaking on you. Terrible design...go back to the old way.

For late fee

AI Highlights
  • Ordered a 24 pack and received delivery; no invoice was provided.
  • We mailed a check; it cleared, but a late fee applies and there is no invoice.

We ordered a 24 pack for the first time and we got the delivery, but the driver didn't bring the invoice. I wanted to pay, but the driver said that we could pay next time.

Then we received the mail and we wrote the check. The check has cleared, but I still have to pay a late fee.

This is very bad for a small business. I want to pay, but there's no invoice.

Loss:
$60

Preferred solution: They charge late fee

User's recommendation: I can't order again

Cheaper plastic bottle

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Plastic density in Poland Spring bottles has been reduced, making opening messy.
  • Prices are higher for a lower quality product.

Poland Spring reduced the density of the plastic in the bottles. Now, you cannot open the bottle without making a mess; it is like squeezing a rope. Disgusting - higher prices for a lower quality product.

Loss:

Pros:
  • Good water
Cons:
  • Cheaper bottles

User's recommendation: Other brands cheaper with a better quality

Disappointed in the company and employees

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Delivery dates were rescheduled a third time.
  • A prior delivery went to a different address.
  • If water isn't received by Monday, cancel and seek a refund.

I am quite disappointed in the delivery process of Ready Fresh. The delivery date has been rescheduled for the third time with reasons which are unbelievable.

How can they consider this a good customer service? I told the representative when I called that if I dont receive my water on Monday, I will be canceling the order and will never ever order from Poland Springs anymore and I want a refund. The delivery prior to this one was delivered not to my address but to another location. I believe my patience is running thin with such incompetence.

Something has to give, improvements have to be made to gain my business back. Thank you

Preferred solution: Full refund

The same. They won’t pick up the empty bottles from when I used that company, there are approximately 20.

They have not refunded my account. If they come again, I’m having them arrested for trespassing and hiring a lawyer.

Original review Dec 01, 2023

I cancelled fresh refresh in August bc they stopped carrying distilled water. 3 months later the began delivering again and charged my card unlawfully.

I called again, and manager said I never cancelled and he was going to charge my card.

I am furious.

Today I got yet ANOTHER delivery!!

I am reporting you to consumer protection and AMEX fraud dept.

I said on a recorded line you are not authorized to charge my card and you did. If you dont refund my card today and stop this delivery I will sue you.

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: NEVER!

Recently, the Poland Spring brand has adopted a bottle using 30 less plastic, as did the other Nestl Waters North America brands.
